• Abstract:
  Head-up Displays (HUDs) are being installed in air transports in order to allow manual approaches, landings, and takeoffs in poor visibility. HUDs make it possible to overlay and augment the real-world image with conformal symbols such as a flight path marker (FPM) which indicates the direction the aircraft is heading within the out-the-window (OTW) view. HUD symbology is also collimated, focusing well in front of the aircraft, which allows the pilot to switch rapidly between monitoring the OTW view and instruments without appreciable re-focusing or moving of the head.
